Crest of the Stars Movie

Main article: Cots-Special Edition

This is a special movie for the Cots show. It is a summary of the show with some extra scenes and shots. There appears to be two versions of the movie. The early movie version has two particular scenes and shots that were different from the show and are no no longer available in the new version. Both are related due to playing time. The movie shows a shorten conversation between Lafiel and the Sufagnoff's communication base officer who is now a male character. The second one is a shot of the DEV903 just after Jinto and Lafiel crash landed. The new movie version has the same conversation from the show and the DEV903 removed. The movie is most unique and famous for the dancing scene of Beneej Spoor at the end.
